Is there a reason why I can't find orudis kt otc at any of my local
pharmacies? I'm from Mission, Texas. I used to buy it at heb or
walmart. Now I can't find it anywhere.
Is there any place I can order it online. I've been on the internet for
two days now trying to find where I can order it.

you are correct that it [as a class] has become harder to find -

it has a higher incidence of either severe allergic reaction, or gi
bleed/distress and/or kidney involvement than some of the other otc's.
